Semi-detached house on a steep slope, Bligh Close, Teignmouth
Apparently, a bridge allows vehicle access to first floor garages. How the rest of the house is arranged is not known but it could be that reception rooms and kitchen are on the first floor with bedrooms and bathroom downstairs. At lower left the footpath through the northwest side of the estate drops steeply down to Gilbert Avenue.

West across the end of Gilbert Avenue, Teignmouth
Across the valley of the Buddle Brook the Moor View Drive estate stops abruptly against farmland, but for how long?

Houses climb the hills above Teignmouth
The view is northeast from near the summit of The Lea. Shepherds' Lane descends from the left towards Headway Cross. Coombe Way/Lane is out of sight below the field in the foreground. Woodland on the left skyline is Holcombe Down. Much of the housing on the right is on the eastern slope of the Coombe valley. New housing developments continue to advance up the hillsides.

Ford and footbridge on Buddle Brook, Coombe Valley Local Nature Park, Teignmouth
There had been heavy rain in previous days. The brook in spate has coursed through this old ford and stripped the ground of vegetation and soil. Branches of coppiced hazel, a feature of the park, get into the picture.

Northwest end of Armada Drive, Teignmouth
Seen from the footpath that runs mostly between garden fences on the northwest edge of this estate off Raleigh Road. Will this idyllic landscape one day be covered in houses all the way up to Holcombe Down, right, and Little Haldon? Houses similar to those on the right are also seen in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825144 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825242

Entrance to Frobisher Wood, Frobisher Close, Teignmouth
A piece of lush green Devonshire woodland and a public open space. The sign also says Teignbridge District Council / Supported by the Countryside Commission.
The Countryside Commission as such was set up in 1968. It ceased to exist in 1999 when it was merged with the Rural Development Commission to form the Countryside Agency. This has in turn evolved into Natural England, partly by eventual merger with English Nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countryside_Commission
